IGN: Blizzcon 08: Rob Pardo on Diablo III

You figure that you'd have your hands full overseeing the development of one AAA game, but imagine if you were in charge of two of them? That's the position that Rob Pardo finds himself in. As the executive vice president of game design at Blizzard, Pardo oversees both StarCraft II and Diablo III. With the big reveal of the third Diablo III character class yesterday, IGN had a chance to talk to Pardo today to find out more.

"She's kind of our most classic magic-using class," Pardo told them. "If you have a mage or a sorcerer or a wizard, she kind of fills that archetype. She's going to be great at ranged combat; she's going to be great at area-of-effect magic. She's also going to be the crazy special effects class."
